AUTHOR: Djap
PAIRING: Nathan Stark x Jack Carter
GENRE: Romance, First Time, Collection of rewritten scenes
RATING: PG13
LANGUAGE: English
PART: 2 from 9
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the boys and I won't make any money with them. Pity.
DEDICATION: To any writer who ever wrote e redux-story for this fandom. Your stories made me try out something new with this piece and I just wanted to thank you by sharing this.
A/N: I took some scenes from the show and twisted them a little to amuse my slash-loving self. Every episode/chapter should be read as a standalone. I keep as close to the original dialogues as I can, altering the scenes only a little to give them a certain twist. Hope you enjoy. Some of the scenes have been repeatedly rewritten in the fandom and this is my interpretation of those scenes. Feel free to take my work and alter it again. I'd be delighted to read your versions.
WARNING: In the Episode 'Purple Haze' I replace Beverly with Nathan in her fight with Allison for comical reasons. If those two entering a physical fight squicks you, even if mean only to amuse and nobody gets seriously hurt, please just skip the chapter. Feel warned!
SO TAKE A GLASS OF WINE, LIE BACK AND ENJOY

SEASON 1, Episode 7: Dr. Nobel
ALLISON BLAKE: Our best people are working on this. You don't know Nathan but he will find a way to shut it down.
JACK CARTER: Nothing against your husband, but
ALLISON BLAKE: Ex. Soon to be ex.
JACK CARTER: But the man with the answers is just sitting right there. We just need to figure out how to get them out of him. What?
ALLISON BLAKE: What what?
JACK CARTER: You've got that look on your face, like you knew something I should know but you're not telling me. Spill.
ALLISON BLAKE: I can't. It's classified. It's Nathan's turf and there's no way he will…
JACK CARTER: Allison, if we don't stop this thing, there won't be any turf. What is it? Okay, gravity, I got it.
…
CELLPHONE: *rings*
NATHAN STARK: What? Hey Allison.
ALLISON BLAKE: …
NATHAN STARK: Absolutely not. That technology is highly experimental, and far too dangerous for anyone, to…
ALLISON BLAKE: …
NATHAN STARK: JACK CARTER? Really?
ALLISON BLAKE: …
NATHAN STARK: That's just a risk we may have to take.
ALLISON BLAKE: …
NATHAN STARK: No Allison, I'm not just angry at him because he refused to go on a date with me.
ALLISON BLAKE: …
NATHAN STARK: Really. I'm not.
ALLISON BLAKE: Yes I know that you repeatedly tell him we'll sign the divorce papers as soon as we got the time to… yes I know it's not your fault he refuses to date me…
…
ZOE CARTER: Oh my god, Eugenia. What are you doing? How did you even get here?
EUGENIA: Henry souped up my chair. I can go 50 Miles between charges.
ZOE CARTER: So why have I been pushing you around all day?
EUGENIA: I wanted you to feel good about yourself, like you were assisting. Fine. I didn't hate your company.
ZOE CARTER: Dad are you okay?
JACK CARTER: *leans in to kiss Eugenia, lost to Thatcher's memories*
ZOE CARTER: Dad, what the hell are you doing? Why did you do that? Seriously? Wasn't it enough when you creeped me out by letting Dr. Stark kiss you where I could see?
JACK CARTER: Didn't do that on purpose. Stark cornered me, so I didn't stand a chance.
ZOE: Well, you could have pushed him away… but you didn't. Why didn't you?
JACK CARTER: I don't know. But I didn't date him though.
ZOE: As if that's makes it so much better. And why the hell did you kiss her now?
JACK CARTER: I'm not sure.
EUGENIA: Mind your own business, Zoe.
…
NATHAN STARK: Tell Fargo to give you anything you need and not to touch anything you don't need.
HENRY DEACON: *leaves grinning*
ALLISON BLAKE: *enters* Bad news, good news. We didn't get anything from Thatcher, but Carter wasn't hurt in the process.
NATHAN STARK: And the good news?
ALLISON BLAKE: *rolls her eyes: Still angry at him for refusing to date you? You can't expect him to…
NATHAN STARK: Just let it go. I'm a big boy, I'll handle it myself.
…
DEVICE: Weapon will deploy in three hours.
ALLISON BLAKE: There's got to be something. Use explosives to blast through the rest of the bedrock.
HENRY DEACON: This machine was programmed as a second-strike dead man's weapon. Any kind of explosion, and…
NATHAN STARK: I cannot believe we built this thing to protect ourselves.
ALLISON BLAKE: I'm gonna have to put a call in to the D.O.D.
HENRY DEACON: You can't.
ALLISON BLAKE: I have to.
HENRY DEACON: You can't.
ALLISON BLAKE: You'll think that they notice if we start World War Three.
NATHAN STARK: Allison. Think about it! What you're gonna say: We may accidently blow up Moscow, Beijing, Pyongyang and Stockholm?
ALLISON BLAKE: Okay, I know how fond you are of Stockholm, Nathan, but this is bigger than you.
HENRY DEACON: If you tell them, that we can't stop it, they'll nuke us and…
ALLISON BLAKE: And I know. Any kind of explosion can trigger the device. I get it. But we're running out of options.
JACK CARTER: I beg to differ. I'm gonna need to borrow your Nobel *grabs his gun and trashes the glass*
NATHAN STARK: It was open.
JACK CARTER: Oh, sorry.
NATHAN STARK: What in the hell are you doing?
JACK CARTER: Going to a party, where it's 1962.
…
NATHAN STARK: That's gonna be a shiner. *checks Jack's eye*
JACK CARTER: Yeah. Well, one small step for man, one giant welt for me.
NATHAN STARK: So when are you gonna tell him my Nobel isn't his to keep?
JACK CARTER: I don't know. He saved your ass. He earned it.
NATHAN STARK: No, I earned it. It's mine.
JACK CARTER: Take it away, loose a great scientist. It's not a difficult equation. You never know, you might need Thatcher to dismantle the next ticking time bomb
NATHAN STARK: Good point.
JACK CARTER: Really?
NATHAN STARK: *shrugs* Yes. I still earned it. *pouts*
JACK CARTER: *smiles* Okay, I'll make it up to you.
NATHAN STARK: *lights up* really? How?
JACK CARTER: I'll take you up on your offer for dinner, tonight.
NATHAN STARK: What made you change your mind?
JACK CARTER: I have Thatcher's memories now. I know how important the Nobel was to him, and I can only imagine what a kick your ego might have gotten out of your Nobel. So I think I can reward you for sharing it with him for a while.
NATHAN STARK: *grins and sees right through the sheriff's evasive answer* Thought you hated me.
JACK CARTER: Was just surprised about your offer. Didn't think you were serious.
NATHAN STARK: I was.
JACK CARTER: Yes. I know that now.
NATHAN STARK: You did good today, Carter.
JACK CARTER: Thanks. I had a little help from my crew. *looks at the kissing couple of Eugenia and Thatcher* You remember that feeling?
NATHAN STARK: Yeah.
JACK CARTER: It's nice to know that it can last a lifetime.
NATHAN STARK: And kind of depressing.
JACK CARTER: A little. *laughs* I'm just grateful that we finally got together. *crings* I said 'we' again, didn't I?
NATHAN STARK: Yes. But I hoped you weren't talking just about them.
JACK CARTER: Only time will tell.
